Thank you for your shared personal information.
We are all unique and have our own story.
I'm new to this osteoporosis after a hard fall Oct. 2022 while hiking. The fall required knee surgery. Ortho indicated "soft bones" Got a DEXA scan Dec. 2022. Scored -3.9 on hip and -2.9 spine. Started Evenity 7/2023 . Otherwise no other major medical issues, healthy. Very active..outdoorsy..... I truly understand "no pain, no gain" attitude. That's why I'm on Evenity. But I want a better new normal.
Need more guidance/education to make best choice possible.

I’m glad you took action right away. I had a bad fall onto a side of cliff and shattered my foot which ultimately lead to my diagnosis as well (-2.5 spine and -2.1 hip). That was 15 years ago. My score was fairly stable with minor declines over 13 years until it dropped 5% in the past two years to -3.1 in the spine and -2.5 in my hip. Now I’m struggling with which route to go. I’m leaning towards Forteo but I was hoping to maybe see if I could stabilize first with BHRT but I need to get a catscan of my arteries before taking it as I’m 65 and 17 years post menopausal. I am finally getting to see a top endocrinologist in Toronto next week, so I’m hoping to solidify an action plan as I’m stressed I’m still losing bone while waiting. A young Golden Retriever ran into the back of my legs two weeks ago and I fell hard on my tailbone onto an icy surface. Lots of back pain resulted in me going to get an X-ray and lo and behold I have 3 mild biconcave deformities in my T7, T8, and T9, possibly osteoporoic fractures!
